Dear Comic Art Fan,

This is the last day to bid in the Original Art session of ComicLink's final Featured Auction of 2013 -- lots will start closing at 8pm Eastern Time today! This session features ComicLink's broadest OA offering to date. Though there are well over 500 original art pieces, every single lot was hand-selected to meet the quality standards of ComicLink's Featured Auction. There are major works hailing from many genres and time periods. Prime Steve Ditko Spider-Man pieces and numerous, exceptional Jack Kirby works join a multitude of treasures created by artists ranging from Hal Foster to Jim Lee! The quality is such that every single lot in the auction is a highlight of some kind. View the Original Art session at The Link!

“We’re pleased to offer another auction filled with rarities and pleasant surprises for our original art buyers,” said Rob Reynolds, Director of Consignments for the world record holding auction house. “We have many truly fantastic pieces up for grabs and most at no reserve.”

As always, ComicConnect does not charge buyer's premiums. Simply pay the winning bid and shipping.“Consign now to our next Event Auction. We offer generous cash advances and have over five million dollars ready for you,” Reynolds said.

I'm an avid comic book reader; I just love the possibilities of the medium been reading for about forty years. And when I saw that I could own art from comics that’s when the obsession really started. I'm always amazed at the beautiful art that they put out month after month.

2. Which piece in your gallery is your favorite?

I love them all but the most special one is my Batwoman #12 page 20 by JH Williams.

3. How long have you been collecting comic art and what prompted you to start?

I really started collecting art seriously about six or seven years ago when I went to my first big comic convention after meeting lots of artists that’s when the ball really started to roll. I am always awed at the incredible talent of the artists.

4. How do you display/store your collection at home?

They're all kept in closed portfolios I make prints of my favorites and display the prints, I rotate them regularly so I always have something new to look at.

5. What are your top five most wanted original pages or commissions?

I could name twenty or thirty but those are the first five that comes to mind:

1: A commission of either Black Widow or Batwoman by JH Williams

2: A Batwoman cover by JH Williams

3: Black Widow: Deadly Origins #2 cover by Adi Granov

4: Daredevil: End of Days #6 cover

5: Black Widow: The Things They Say About Her #2 cover by Bill Sienkiewicz.
